Thanks Stephen for the info. Our neighbor has such a tree in the garden and doesn't know what it is.

This is where carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere. The fast-growing paulownia (or bluebell tree) can quickly be used as a light-weight but high-strength timber, e.g. in furniture construction, for musical instruments or in surfboards. However, the species, which originates from East Asia, is considered "potentially invasive", meaning it could displace native plants in an uncontrolled manner.

The kiri tree is native to East Asia. The first copies came to Europe shortly after the Wars of Liberation (approx. 1835). The tree has deep roots and grows quickly. It therefore quickly binds a lot of CO2 and is therefore called a climate saver. Thanks to its long roots, it also survives periods of drought, which are deadly for native tree species. Its light wood is also in great demand in the furniture industry.
